That's Toei for you, when they're good they're the best but my god can they mess up sometimes.
ResF movie they had the premiere in America, talking about how they recognized the international audience blah blah but then waited 1.5 years to legalise DBS... This company man. A love hate relationship alright.
Hopefully they are smart enough to recognize how big Dragon Ball is overseas, and how much spoilers/piracy could hurt their movie revenue.

Woah, this movie may actually look good. Rumor that the yearly October Precure movie will be all CG means a bunch of 2D animators just got freed up: https://mobile.twitter.com/aers00/statu ... 8712719360

That might be good news, I didn't like it much the CGI on the latest movies.

I agree, I wasn't a fan of the cgi in BOG or F.

Precure should be fine though with a cgi movie; their cgi is generally very good.

So now that this Super hiatus is officially a thing, I get the feeling that the conclusion of the Universe Survival arc will lead into this new movie.

Maybe Vegeta does indeed end up wishing Universe 6 back, then that will lead into this next film being a Planet Sadala adventure that explores the origins of the Saiyans.

Or Maybe the arc ends without leading into anything, and this new film is just it’s own standalone thing. It could really be anything.

They should do. More than half of Resurrection F's Box Office came from outside of Japan.

With Battle of Gods it seemed to to take forever to come out in other countries. It took over a year and half until the US got it. It only took about 4 months for Resurrection F though which is why it did so much better.

Hopefully there would be even less of a delay with this one because that would help it even more.

I feel like it'll be this. Between Vegeta's desire to visit Sadala and the movie being focused on Saiyans, it'd make sense, and his understanding of Universe 7 Saiyan history could be used to explore the origin of their race's power or whatever by contrasting it with what that Sadala is like.

I do wonder if Fox still has the DB movie rights overseas since BOG and ROF also had 20th Century Fox logo and opening to them? With Fox now being own by Disney, would Funimation still have the same contract with them or not?

If this movie is set after super then we'll probably see Goku use UI but do you think Vegeta will use his royal blue form he just got ? I'm asking because chances are it wasn't from Toriyama.

Fox won't be owned by Disney for at least 17 months.

It could just tie into an overall plot and not be completely set in the past as that would prevent them from using Goku, something I highly doubt they'll do as fans wouldn't want the new movie in 3+ years to not have him.

Since Super is apparently ending soon, I wonder if Dragon Ball films are going to start becoming an annual thing. After all, Dragon Ball right now is too popular to simply stop releasing new content altogether.

I don't think so, it's not like the franchise is gonna get much weaker without animated content. We survived 17 years without it. I think it would be nice if they gave us a couple of years to absorb the 131 episodes of Super before intending to do new series.

If the movie is out in December, I guess Funimation will probably release it in March or April 2019. It would be cool if Toei release the movie in the US and Japan at the same time, but that would never happen.

They'd be missing out on soooooooo much $$$ by waiting that long. If huge blockbusters can get same day worldwide releases then there's no reaosn DB can't get something similar where it's popular.

It takes time to dub and market the movies. We got ROF like 4 or 5 months after it came out in Japan.

I mean, the dub will come. Considering how early we got Resurrection F dubbed & released over here, I imagine that it'll maybe be a similar timeframe. dubs take a bit to cast, rewrite the translated lines to be coherent in whatever the new language is, & other things. Plus, the major factor here, reverse importation being something that Japanese companies HATE their Japanese customers doing because it means less money for them, so there's a bit of built in lag time for overseas releases. Plus, FUNi's not a company that consistently puts the films they dub into theaters. It's just been the last few DB movies & the last One Piece movie, from what I know of. They focus on streaming & home releases mainly.
Only dubs that matter are DB, Kai, & Super. Nothing else.

They have a separate film division "FUNimation films" they've released a fair few films other than DB and such.
